Clare Short, the former international development secretary, today accused Tony Blair of lying to her and misleading parliament in the build-up to the Iraq invasion.

Short, giving evidence to the Chilcot inquiry into the war, also said that the 2003 conflict had put the world in greater danger of international terrorism.

Declassified letters between Short and Blair released today show she believed that invading Iraq without a second UN resolution would be illegal and there was a significant risk of a humanitarian catastrophe.

“Declassified letters between Short and Blair released today show she believed that invading Iraq without a second UN resolution would be illegal and there was a significant risk of a humanitarian catastrophe.”

And also the opinion of millions of demonstrators in the US and Great Briton.

The cover ups in the US involving Valerie Wilson and the cover ups in England involving David Kelly are strikingly similar, except that David Kelly ended up dead.

That the David Kelly issue has been hushed up for 70 years is a blatant travesty of justice, but just normal modus opporendum for the shadow gubmint. 😎
